    Oahu News:

    The suspect in three Puna murders was captured after an intense manhunt, ending with Jacob Baker being taken into custody in a shirtless and emaciated state. In Kapolei, a $600 million Amazon warehouse project gained tentative community support despite some skepticism. Meanwhile, Waimanalo saw the opening of Ke Kauhale ʻO Luhia, the 26th village in the Kauhale Initiative, providing 20 new homes for homeless families and kupuna. The Honolulu Police Department has selected David Lazar as its next police chief, chosen from three finalists. Additionally, a Washington man was banned from Hawaii beaches after being accused of throwing a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal, a federal misdemeanor charge to which he pleaded not guilty.
